Hi all

I am using drupal as cms to develop a community website for surgical trainees called www.eyst.co.uk , I do get visitors from search engines to my websites. I am planning to change my domain to www.eyst.org , but do not want to lose my visitors coming from search engine. Is there any programme or module to help me redirect the old page urls to new sites with out loosing visitors.

Thanks
Sreeram

Apache can do this for you. Run a webserver on the old domain with this configuration:

Redirect permanent / http://www.eyst.org/

This will send all requests (including visits from search spiders) to the corresponding URI on the new domain, and inform the visitor that the resource has moved permanently.

Just put a link on the page telling them to go to your new domain name. Soon the search engines will know where the new site is at.
